Everyone's singing a new Zune today following the unveiling of Microsoft's iPod competitor (née killer), and that Zune is brown. While no one seemed quite sure, the reaction was generally positive; watchers thought the music sharing option was rather brilliant, and the interface intuitive and simple.

The question on everyone's minds is, still, how much? Guesses tend to end up around $299.

Microsoft investors seemed pleased, and drove the stock up 35 cents, or 1.35%, to a comfortable $26.33.

This zune thing could be competition for the iPod this season I believe. I haven't seen anything come down Apples line that will appeal to a large demographic, besides colored nanos.
